THE EXORCIST III

The personal vision of William Peter Blatty (writer of William Friedkin''''s original 1973 masterpiece), The Exorcist III is a hellish horror detective story that pairs thoughtful theological themes with scenes of sheer terror. Fifteen years after the events of the first film, Lieutenant Kinderman (George C. Scott, The Changeling) investigates a series of horrific murders that follow the modus operandi of the notorious Gemini Killer... who died several years earlier in the electric chair. After his friend Father Dyer (Ed Flanders) is murdered in his hospital bed, Kinderman''''s investigations lead him to '''Patient X'''', a psychopath housed at the same hospital who claims to be the Gemini Killer, and who knows intimate crime scene details. Their encounter leads to a fiery climactic confrontation between the eternal forces of good and evil... The Exorcist III boasts some of modern horror''''s most unforgettable scares and exceptional supporting performances from Jason Miller (The Ninth Configuration) and Brad Dourif (Dune). Blatty''''s film is presented here in both its original theatrical cut and the Legion director''''s cut. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS DISC ONE ' THEATRICAL CUT (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) 4K restoration of the theatrical cut of the film 4K UHD (2160p) Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Original theatrical stereo and optional DTS-HD 5.1 MA surround audio options Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Audio commentary by critics Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson Audio interview with writer/director William Peter Blatty Death, Be Not Proud: The Making of The Exorcist III, an in-depth 2016 documentary divided into five chapters: Chapter One: A 'Wonderfull" Time, an interview with producer Carter DeHaven and members of the supporting cast and production crew; Chapter Two: Signs of the Gemini, an interview with actor Brad Dourif; Chapter Three: The Devil in the Details, an interview with production designer Leslie Dilley and more; Chapter Four: Music for a Padded Cell, an interview with composer Barry De Vorzon; Chapter Five: All This Bleeding, interviews about the additional shoot and special effects The Exorcist III: Vintage Interviews, archival interviews with cast and crew members including William Peter Blatty, producer James Robinson, actors George C.
